- when i worked at mit, i was told that good ol' amar bose, while
- presenting a lecture, was asked why his 901 series speakers are
- never spec'd with power handling limits. in response, he
- unplugged a speaker from the demonstration setup, stripped the
- wire, and jammed it into a power outlet. after a 60 Hz burst of
- appropriate duration, he reconnected the speaker to the stereo
- and continued with the lecture.
-
- if 901 speakers had been designed with this sort of feature in
- mind, they would certainly be the speakers of choice for those
- i know who prefer 'first strike' capability in their audio systems.
